The reason I ask is we built one of the first few dozen homes in Cranston long ago. Sold it and moved years ago, but now I see most of the real estate adds for Cranston have HOA fees/warnings in the listings. We never had such a thing, but would new owners have to contribute now, or is the property "grandfathered in" or something like that, seeing as there was no HOA back in the late 90s/early 2000s for Cranston IIRC. Maybe it was incorporated into the original PIT payment (it was our first home), but I sure don't remember anything about it, and never wrote a check yearly for the 4 years we lived there.
